“No, I don’t think you are trying to clarify,” Clinton countered. “I think you are trying to say that I used to be opposed and now I am in favor and I did it for political reasons. And that’s just flat wrong. So let me just state what I feel like I think you are implying and repudiate it.”

“I was saying that you maybe really believed this all along … believed in gay marriage all along, but felt for political reasons America wasn’t ready yet and you couldn’t say it. That’s what I was thinking,” Gross replied.

“No, that is not true,” Clinton responded.

Clinton did not endorse gay marriage during her run for president in 2008, but in 2013, after stepping down as secretary of state, she announced her support of marriage equality “personally, and as a matter of policy and law.”
